Or have investments been made and then a recovery plan implemented to try and correct a plan that did not meet expectations. Should a company only depend on technology while making these decisions? 4. “Ryder’s reverse in logistics capability mainly consists of a full suite of various integrated reverse logistics and IT solutions to handle the goods that are returned from one end to the other.

The research paper is for the class name Women in Art history. The class is about the women artists who were not given any recognition because of the male dominated society. Artemisia Gentileschi is the artist I have chosen and I want the research paper to discuss how she changes female perspective through her paintings featuring female protagonist. I want the paper to discuss her paintings named Suzanne and the elders, Judith and the Judith beheading Holofernes and her self-portrait.

In the painting ‘Suzanne and the elders’ suzzane is shown as the victim of the male dominated society. http://uploads1.wikiart.org/images/artemisia-gentileschi/susanna-and-the-elders-1610.jpg . Artemisia made multiple paintings of Suzanne and the elders in her lifetime. The paper should discuss about the difference between them in terms of Artemisia’s maturity in the paintings over the years.

 

In the painting ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’ Judith is killing the general, which is shown as women empowerment. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Artemisia_Gentileschi_-_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes_-_WGA8563.jpg
